Chapter 825: The Voices Reappear!
At that moment, the surroundings became incredibly quiet. Even sounds of inhalation disappeared as giant waves shook the hearts of the surrounding Never-Ending Clan members and hidden Descenders. It was as though 100,000 thunderclouds exploded in their minds.
The Spirit Immortal… was dead!
The impact that the scene brought them was too great, and everyone found it unbelievable. Truly… to those Never-Ending Clan members, their army commander was already a G.o.dlike figure. Besides Planet realm cultivators and above, he was basically untouchable.
But now, the pig-masked man slashed him in two in front of everyone, destroying his body and soul…
The sense of shock that it brought them couldn’t even be fully described by the words “heaven-shaking and earth-shattering”.
That was especially so after a wisp of late-stage Spirit Immortal disturbance appeared from the Never-Ending Clan elder’s body, which was split apart. But, like an ember, it was extinguished the moment it appeared.
The aura seemed to remind the surrounding crowd that the person killed… wasn’t an ordinary Spirit Immortal but a late-stage Spirit Immortal!
At the same time, the elder’s Essence Soul was also turned to dust by w.a.n.g Baole Divine Armament!
Meanwhile, a large amount of life aura was dispersed the moment the elder died. Bringing with it the aura of death formed when the elder’s Essence Soul was destroyed, it headed straight for the black demonic eye behind w.a.n.g Baole.
The black demonic eye had already unleashed its maximum power previously and was already bloodshot, looking as though it was about to collapse. That was especially so considering it got damaged again when the Never-Ending Clan elder forcefully resisted by self-destructing and struggling. But now, one could see extremely intense greed within the eye. It seemed to be like a black hole as it swallowed the Never-Ending Clan elder’s fading aura.
This aura was very concentrated to w.a.n.g Baole’s senses, but outsiders couldn’t see it. Even if it engulfed the surroundings and completely covered w.a.n.g Baole, no one could see the details clearly. However… although the surrounding crowd couldn’t see the mist, they could see that the area surrounding w.a.n.g Baole had started to warp.
The warping was very astonis.h.i.+ng and gave people a sense of extreme weirdness as it blurred w.a.n.g Baole’s silhouette, which was within it.
This feeling, plus the previous shock, caused the surrounding silence to be broken by anxious and disorderly inhales. After that, the crowd couldn’t help but let out sounds of shock.
“He… he’s dead?”
“The army commander… died?”
“That’s impossible!”
As voices kept sounding out, Never-Ending Clan members with quick reactions rapidly retreated with fear in their eyes. w.a.n.g Baole didn’t seem to be in a very good state right now, but no one dared go close to him. His silhouette in the warped area was like a demon, exuding a mysterious aura that made people shudder in fear.
Very quickly, more and more Never-Ending Clan members retreated. In the end, all of the Never-Ending Clan members surrounding the area retreated and escaped with maximum speed as they tried to leave.
Even for those Descenders like w.a.n.g Baole, there were many who trembled as they chose to go far away from that place. But alas, there were seven to eight of them who hesitated due to greed and only retreated several meters instead of leaving completely. They narrowed their eyes and suppressed the greed in their hearts as they stared intently as w.a.n.g Baole’s position.
As some people looked towards there, w.a.n.g Baole, who was engulfed by the aura dispersed by the Never-Ending Clan elder’s death, was experiencing t.i.tanic changes within his body.
The black demonic eye behind w.a.n.g Baole healed rapidly after it absorbed the aura from the Never-Ending Clan elder’s death. Of course, it still had to contribute nearly 90% of its power to propel w.a.n.g Baole’s cultivation towards a breakthrough, whether it liked it or not. This was due to the special trait of the Demonic Eye Art. While the power entered w.a.n.g Baole’s body and caused it to tremble, his previous injuries were all healing rapidly.
Firstly, the two legs he made self-destruct could be seen reforming with one’s naked eye. Afterward, the energy he lost after multiple self-destructions was being replenished. What was more important was… his cultivation!
After coming to this world, w.a.n.g Baole had already killed a lot. However, he was always just a sliver away from achieving a breakthrough in his cultivation. At that moment, as he killed the Spirit Immortal, the sliver was pa.s.sed. At that moment, his cultivation seemed to have gotten an unprecedented boost, and a breakthrough was achieved!
He was no longer a late-stage Soul Conduit. He had become… a perfected stage Soul Conduit!
In fact, he wasn’t in a state of having just achieved a breakthrough. Instead, the moment he broke through, he reached the peak of the perfected stage Soul Conduit realm and seemed to be only a half-step away from the Spirit Immortal realm!
Accurately speaking, he was now a…
False Immortal! w.a.n.g Baole’s eyes opened. The moment they did, lightning seemed to disperse from them, and thunder rumbled in the surroundings, ripping apart the warps surrounding it. Instantly, the land collapsed, causing the Descenders who had evil intentions to clearly see the light in w.a.n.g Baole’s eyes and his condition. Also, the demonic eye behind him was no longer black. Instead, it started exuding a red glow, seeming to glow purple after neutralization!
This scene immediately caused the seven to eight greedy cultivator’s scalps to go numb. Without hesitation, they retreated and prepared to leave. However, they were too late.
w.a.n.g Baole didn’t move, but the giant purple eye’s pupil behind him turned. It exuded a demonic feeling and actually disappeared from behind w.a.n.g Baole. As shrill cries sounded from the surroundings, w.a.n.g Baole furrowed his brows and looked coldly in the direction of the sounds. In his Divine Sense, the escaping cultivators had all wilted. And on every cultivator’s body were a large number of dissipating eyes.
“Starting another reverse absorption?” A cold glimmer appeared in w.a.n.g Baole’s eyes. He raised his right hand and grabbed towards an empty piece of land in the distance. As he did so, disturbances instantly appeared in that area, and the giant purple eye that had left his body appeared in that area. It seemed to be struggling, but under the activation of the devouring seed in w.a.n.g Baole’s body, the purple eye was still pulled little by little in front of him.
“I warned you previously.” Gazing at the purple eye in front of him, w.a.n.g Baole spoke coldly. The eye also shone brightly for a while and slowly dimmed, seemingly choosing to yield after deliberating.
Obviously, the method w.a.n.g Baole used to punish the will within the Demonic Eye Art previously scarred it greatly. As for w.a.n.g Baole, he narrowed his eyes and was about to speak, but at that moment, a familiar voice sounded in his ears again!
“Help me… Foreigner, help me once!”
The voice that sounded this time was much clearer than the one w.a.n.g Baole heard previously. This made w.a.n.g Baole instinctively confirm that the voice came from underground. And the reappearance of the voice meant he couldn’t help but have a change of expression.
“Who the heck are you!” w.a.n.g Baole lowered his head and gazed at the land. Not only did he feel the direction the sound came from, but he also faintly felt the rough coordinates of the sound this time.
w.a.n.g Baole lowered his head and looked towards the land. Deep underground, near the planet’s core, under the thick surface of the planet, was an area filled with magma!
Within the magma, at the top of hundreds of stairs, was a black tower-shaped altar. There… three oil lamps exuding ethereal fire were placed at three of its corners!
Between the three oil lamps were two silhouettes meditating while sitting cross-legged!
One of them was an elder. His entire body was wilted, and his aura was extremely faint. It was as though he wasn’t far from death. There was a huge hole where his dantian was, and waves of rainbow light dispersed from within the hole. As it covered the surroundings, one could see that the source of the rainbow light was actually a shrunken planet!
And opposite him, the other meditating man covered by the rainbow light had three heads and six arms. It was someone of the Never-Ending Clan! The man looked middle-aged, and the expressions on his three heads were all extremely cold. He raised his right hand and was seemingly slowly pulling the rainbow planet in the elder’s dantian out of his body.
If this scene was witnessed by others in the know, they would see with one look… that the injured elder and Never-Ending Clan member were both Planet realms. Moreover, the latter seemed to be refining the former!
During this refinement, the Never-Ending Clan Planet realm cultivator opened his eyes and looked at the wilted elder in front of him. First, greed flashed between his eyes. Then, his gaze turned into one of ridicule, and he spoke with a cold laugh.
“Old fogey, you still won’t give up?”
